Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention relate to methods and systems that may detect cadences and duplicate fields in a video sequence, and correct the sequence to retrieve the original progressive content. Methods according to the present invention may compare consecutive fields of the same parity for similarity, and consecutive fields of the opposite parity for field and frame activity. By analyzing patterns in the similarity and activity of the fields, the cadence may be determined. The invention also provides methods that may be used to adjust for changes in the cadence, such as can result from scene changes in the video stream.
